Bug#593100: pbuilder: support BINDMOUNTS destination

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199
Severity: wishlist

Hey,

I use pbuilder/cowbuilder to build packages targeted to multiple
distribution and packages branches (sid, sometimes testing, stable and
stable-backports, and trunk, experimental, stable etc.). I bindmount
BUILDRESULT to be able to satisfy dependencies, but it's better to keep
those separated, so I have BUILDRESULT set to something like
build-${DISTRIBUTION}-${ARCH}. But I can't bindmount that directly since
it won't be in the chroot apt sources unless I also have one basetgz by
target and distribution, which is not really easy to maintain.

It'd be nice if I could only have a BASETGZ by distrib (so lenny, sid),
with an added apt source at a defined folder, which I could then
bindmount from a different place depending on the environment variable
passed to the build.

I'm not sure I'm really clear so feel free to ask more information if
needed :)

Cheers,
